Snoop Dogg had a surprising reaction to Simone Biles’ women’s gymnastics qualification performance during the Paris 2024 Olympics on Sunday.
The iconic rapper, 52, was recently named a special correspondent for NBC and cheered on Team USA in a patriotic ensemble.
Under his American flag jacket, Snoop Dogg wore a T-shirt with gymnastics legend Simone Biles’ face printed on it.
Snoop Dogg was in awe of Biles’ performance and a hilarious image captured him lifting his sunglasses to reveal a wide-eyed look.
Biles earned a score of 15.300 for her two vaults, and also finished Sunday atop the all-around with a score of 59.566.

The 27-year-old gymnast battled a calf injury on Sunday after an awkward landing during a warm-up routine.
Biles made her Olympic comeback three years after withdrawing from multiple finals at the Tokyo Games to protect her safety, sparking an international debate about mental health, by overcoming discomfort in her calf to lead the U.S. women’s gymnastics team to the final.
Her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, was not in Paris on Sunday to support his wife, but the Bears player cheered her on from afar after she nailed her vault routine.
Owens, who has been in training camp with his new team, posted a proud Instagram story of Biles watching her late at night in the United States.
“Stunning,” she captioned a photo of herself after her jumping routine that she posted on her Instagram Story.
She won’t have to compete without her husband in person for much longer, as the Bears will allow her to travel to Paris from July 29 to Aug. 3.
Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has been keeping busy during his time in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Earlier on Saturday, the rapper watched as Team USA swimmers took gold during the men’s 4×100-meter freestyle relay.
During the NBC broadcast, cameras panned to show the star’s reaction to the big win, when Australia came in second place.
He could be seen standing in the stands alongside swimmer Caeleb Dressel’s wife and holding out his arm as he shouted: ‘One, two, three, gold, gold, gold!’
Snoop Dogg then high-fived Dressel’s wife, Meghan, who was holding the couple’s baby boy named August in her arms.
The music artist also played a key role on Friday during the Opening Ceremony, and was one of the people who had the opportunity to carry the Olympic torch in Paris.
